An exclusive neighbourhood is bracing itself for the imminent arrival of glamour model Jordan, who is understood to have bought a “Disney castle” there.

Jordan, real name Katie Price, husband Peter Andre and children Harvey, Junior and Princess Tiamii are said to have bought the seven-bedroom fairytale mansion, complete with copper turrets, in Woldingham.

Last week, the “sold” board went up outside the £2.5 million exclusive address, which boasts a swimming pool, playroom, gym, triple garage and orangery.

And although the family have not yet moved in, their visits to the area are already making them familiar faces in the neighbourhood.

Hashim Ali, owner of Five Star News, in Godstone Road, Warlingham, about a mile from the mansion, said: “Peter came into my shop on Sunday and bought three cans of Coke and a bottle of water. A few of the customers have seen them driving around in recent weeks.

“I'm opening an off-licence next month. Maybe they'll come in to buy their champagne from me.”

Katie is believed to have been attracted to the area because of its opportunity to train for horseriding, as she has ambitions to compete in the 2012 Olympics.

Ted Blackburn, proprietor of the neighbouring Woldingham Saddlery store, added: “I'm not particularly a fan of theirs, but Katie is said to be a keen horsewoman so perhaps it might mean more business for us.”

Pop singer Peter and Katie, who met on the set of I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! four years ago, are known for their outrageous sense of style.
